liquid asset

   Also found in: Wikipedia, Hutchinson 0.01 sec.
Liquid asset
Asset that is easily and cheaply turned into cash-notably, cash itself and short-term securities.

Liquid asset. Liquid assets are accounts or securities that can be easily converted to cash at little or no loss of value.

These include cash, money in bank accounts, money market mutual funds, and US Treasury bills.

Actively traded stocks, bonds, and mutual funds are liquid in the sense that they are easy to sell, but the price is not guaranteed and could be less than the amount you paid to buy the asset.

In contrast, selling fixed assets, such as real estate, usually requires time and negotiation.


liquid asset
An asset that is cash or can be converted to cash on very short notice.

If you have valuable assets in your estate but they would take time to sell, or if you have assets that you don’t want sold, life insurance creates a liquid asset available at death.
In addition, whatever changes do take place must come with an extensive transition period to take into account that real estate is not a liquid asset.
